This clause establishes the baseline operational requirements for service use by defining categories of prohibited content and activity. Enforcement of these restrictions protects the platform infrastructure and ensures compliance with legal obligations across jurisdictions.
Users are required to ensure their use of AWS services complies with the prohibition on illegal and harmful content. Violation of this requirement subjects the user account and associated resources to potential suspension or termination under the service terms.
How other platforms handle this
You may not use the Services to generate content that violates applicable laws or regulations, including content that is defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.
Content that's meant to praise, promote, or aid violent extremist or criminal organizations is not allowed on YouTube. We rely on many factors — like certain government and international organization designations — to determine what constitutes criminal or terrorist organizations.
You must not attempt to disable, circumvent, or otherwise undermine safety mechanisms, content filters, or use policies built into the models or the Service.
